After finishing everything, Zhiyin clapped his hands in satisfaction, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Huang Lao and Ziyou.
With a fawning smile on her face, she rubbed her hands together, shook her head, and leaned closer. "Hehe, Grandpa Huang, Brother Ziyou, can you do me a favor?"
"Haha, what are you talking about helping or not? My dear granddaughter, just tell me what you need, and I'll have Ziyou take care of it!"
Old Huang smiled and affectionately turned Zhiyin's head back, nodding without asking what it was about, showing great loyalty.
"It's nothing, I just can't leave for the time being. Could you please help me find three shops, and also hire a skilled embroiderer and a goldsmith?"
"Embroiderer? Boss, you can let me do that! Before my family fell on hard times, my embroidery skills were quite good!!"
Before Zhiyin could finish speaking, a tall, pretty girl with a beauty mark on the corner of her mouth squeezed out from the side.
"Yes, yes, Cai'er is incredibly skilled at embroidery. She helped alter the costumes we wore for the performance this time, and she also embroidered all the clothes for the sisters in the pavilion in the past."
Autumn's mother, beaming with pride, pointed at the girl named Cai'er.
Zhiyin was taken aback for a moment. She carefully examined the girl named Cai'er and was quite satisfied. She hadn't expected that there were so many hidden talents in the pavilion.
After all, she had Cai'er's indenture, so she would feel more at ease if Cai'er helped her.
Having weighed the pros and cons, she immediately nodded decisively to Cai'er, "Okay, then Cai'er, you will be the official manager of our Zhiji Clothing Store from now on."
After saying that, seeing Cai'er pause for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she excitedly jumped up and down, Zhiyin added, "But if you become the owner of a clothing store, you probably won't have time to rehearse or stand on stage anymore? Would you still be willing to do that?"
"Yes, yes, yes! My acting skills aren't very good, and I prefer being an embroiderer. Boss, you must grant my wish!!"
Cai'er was afraid that her confidant would disagree, so she nodded impatiently.
After all, it was managing a clothing store! Most importantly, the store was specifically designed to design clothes for future girls, which she loved and felt incredibly excited.
“Okay, then it’s you. You’re very familiar with the ladies at the theater, so you can tailor-make clothes for them and find the style that best suits them.”
With a wave of his hand, Zhiyin made the decision.
After saying that, she looked at Ye Wubing, who was staring at her expectantly, and said with a smile, "Little Ye, from now on you will be our theater's dedicated makeup artist!"
"But you don't have to help with everything. The girls can do the regular makeup themselves. You just need to do the more complicated makeup."
"Occasionally, you can help with props like the one we're making today, such as the one with the big ears that can hear the wind."
"If you feel that working alone is too tiring, I can also take on apprentices for you."
"Not tired at all, not tired at all, don't worry boss, leave everything to me!"
Xiao Ye was clearly very happy, patting his chest and making a guarantee.
"My dear granddaughter, what do your three shops do?"
At this moment, Old Huang couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Upon hearing this, everyone around turned to look.
Zhiyin smiled gently and explained without hiding anything, "I plan to use one of the storefronts as a factory to make spicy strips, potato chips, and chili peppers."
"Another shop sells these items, and the last one is a clothing and jewelry store that specializes in selling the clothes and accessories we wore in the TV series."
"Oh, oh~"
Everyone present nodded in understanding.
…
Everything was assigned in an orderly manner, and almost everyone was busy.
Zhiyin felt much relieved and began to wholeheartedly search her memories to start writing the sequel to the Seven Fairies' story.
After handing over the script for rehearsals five days later to Qiu's mother and letting the previous actors, both young and old, continue their rehearsals, she immediately wrote a letter inviting the old lady who had previously said she wanted to be a storyteller.
The old lady had been eagerly anticipating the letter. The moment she received it, her body, which had been languidly leaning against the chaise lounge, trembled violently, and her cloudy eyes instantly lit up.
He then jumped up impatiently and urged his maid, "Hehehe, let's go, take me to the Zhiji Theater."
"Are you really going, Madam? But didn't Master ask you to help manage the inner quarters and resolve the disputes among the concubines?"
The old woman beside her spoke hesitantly and with some conflict.
The old lady rolled her eyes at the nanny, calmly touched the bright red nail guards on her hands, and then frowned unhappily, saying, "Lin'er chose his own woman, so he can manage her himself! Besides, isn't there a mistress of the house? Why do I need to worry about her?"
"It's so annoying!! All they do all day is fight, fight, fight!! It makes the house so smelly and chaotic, I've wanted to leave for ages."
At this point, the old lady became angry and couldn't wait to get away from this inner quarters.
It's already annoying enough to fight with other women when you're young. You finally get to old age and think you can lie down and rest, but you still have to worry about other things. It's really a curse.
"Never mind, let's go! Let's set off now, lest the shopkeeper get impatient waiting!"
After saying that, the old lady was so excited that she nimbly and hurriedly went out the door. She couldn't help but admit that she was eager to see the next chapter.
"Oh, oh, oh, Madam, wait for me..."
The nanny and the maid exchanged a helpless glance and quickly followed.
